The Bachelor's Degree in Sport and Exercise Sciences (L-22) is aimed at those wishing to deepen their skills in physical activity and sport. It trains professionals able to plan, conduct and assess physical activities in various educational contexts and athletic training programmes, including at competitive level, with particular attention to psycho-physical wellbeing and the prevention of disorders linked to a sedentary lifestyle.
The programme provides the anatomical, biochemical, biomechanical and physiological knowledge essential to understanding the biological bases of movement and the body's adaptations to exercise, together with the teaching methods for physical and sporting activities and the techniques for measuring and assessing exercise, also useful for correcting postural problems, and the pedagogical foundations for individual and group programmes with people of all ages.
Teaching combines lectures, seminars and technical-practical activities, with periodic and final assessments. From the second year, traineeships are provided in individual and team technical-sporting disciplines, educational activities and preventive-adapted physical activities, including at affiliated bodies (sports clubs, schools, State bodies).
Graduates can work in public and private facilities and in sporting and recreational-social organisations, conducting, managing and assessing physical activities for prevention and wellbeing, and managing individual and group fitness.
